== For Kurasa ==
The ambassador’s emotions were a tightly coiled ball. Despite his augmentations, his emotional state was clearly human. Fear and desprration were certainly present in abundance, though they were well contained. Kurasa also felt a sense of relief or hope, like a drowning man whose hand had just closed around something sturdy.
== For Talion ==
Talion’s scan would reveal the location of three camouflaged sensors, about the size of a fingernail, placed in discreet positions around the office, with one even being built into the ceiling. They were a relatively sophisticated design, and appeared to be capable of transmitting secure audio and video data to a remote location elsewhere within the same city.
The sensors could be disabled or tampered with easily now that Talion knew their location, though it would take additional effort to do so without attracting the attention of whoever was on the other end.
== For all ==
“The Federation Diplomatic Corps, in its wisdom, appears to think that living on Riani for ten years has made me into something of a native. They still see corruption, society dancing on the edge of war. They’re concerned that this planet has changed me more than I’ve changed it.” He gestured at the implants on the side of his head, as if to illustrate his point.
“I’ve pulled every string available to me to handle this situation quietly. The relationship between our governments is fragile enough as it is. It won’t withstand a scandal like this. Again, I apologize for bringing you into this mess rather blind.”
Ambassador Weisbrantz shifted slightly, looking like he wanted to say more, before he seemed to decide against.
